Bible Note: Jesified If I understand you correctly your saying Job opened the door for Satan to move through by worrying about his children. Isn’t giving Satan a hold in your life sin? Yet scripture records God said Job did not sin nor did commit any evil. Job 1:8 The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil." Job 1:22 Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God. Job 2:3 The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity, although you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause." Job 2:10 … In all this Job did not sin with his lips. Job was attacked for the reason given in scripture, to prove to Satan, all of heaven and now us, since we were given a record of it, that Job loved God not because of what God have given him but because he was God. This is the lesson, whether we are rich or poor, healthy of sick God is to be loved because He is God not because of what he has done or might do for us in the future. You also used a term legal in that Satan had a legal right. Satan has no more or less right than what God allows him to have, there is no celestial supreme court to judge or rule on any legal rights. If God told Satan to go clean the barn Satan would have to do it. Notice how Satan appeared before God in heaven and how he answered God’s questions. There is no doubt God is the one in control. Notice also God gave Satan the limits to which he could afflict Job and his family. By the way I saw you mention your Pentecostal and/or Full Gospel. There is distinct differences in what your posting here and what is authentic Pentecostalism or even Full Gospel. What you touting here and the people you quote are better described as Word of Faith. Word of Faith teaches God has to respond to our faith. It is an attempt to manipulate God. Word of Faith is best described as having faith in faith. For your own knowledge Word of Faith is in opposition with true Christianity in that is paints a totally incorrect picture of God, God's sovereignty and man’s positional relationship with God through faith, therefore it is considered a cult.
